Motorola plans to “defeat” the iPad with a TV in a tablet

[ad_1]

The consumer electronics market for tablets continues to boil. True, so far only announcements, but, sooner or later, they will still be implemented and then serious competition will begin. Both a host of Chinese companies with their cheap, but quite functional solutions for their money, and large market players will take part in the battle. Among the latest Samsung, perhaps RIM, Steve Ballmer promises a lot of tablets based on Windows 7 and diligently “spins” Microsoft’s closest partners to produce them. I also decided to jump into the dump and Motorola with the support of its longtime partner Verizon.

With such serious competition (at least in announcements), it is necessary to offer something interesting in your product, some kind of zest that would attract buyers to it. Motorola plans to use the digital TV feature in its tablet as such an offer, and Verizon will provide support for it using a proprietary service. FiOS.

In addition, Motorola has clearly worked on the design of the device. The company promises that with a 10-inch display and two cameras to boot, it will be thinner and lighter than the iPad. The tablet will be running Google Android, and if you take into account the declared support for Adobe Flash, then this is clearly the version of Android 2.2. Naturally, such a function is put in opposition to the iPad and there is a juggling of numbers regarding 90% of the videos on the Web that use Adobe technology. But the Internet is changing and more and more video hosting sites are moving to HTML5.

As for the release date of the “killer” iPad from Motorola, it is expected that in the US it will appear this fall. By the way, with a strong desire, an Apple tablet can also be turned into a TV. [Financial Times]
